| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Cabral Concept, where board certified doctor of naturopathy, Dr. Stephen Cabral, |
| 0:05.7 | shares with you exactly how you can reverse aging, take back your health, and live a life |
| 0:10.8 | full of energy and passion, with new 20-minute episodes every single day to keep you healthy |
| 0:16.6 | and engaged. Now, here's your host, Dr. Stephen Cabral. You've likely heard that taking apple cider vinegar before a meal can be amazing |
| 0:26.6 | for balancing your blood sugar, improving insulin sensitivity, and maybe even for fat loss as well. |
| 0:34.6 | What I want to share with you here today, though, is a giant caveat as to why |
| 0:39.2 | you should never take apple cider vinegar before breakfast on an empty stomach. So I know that |
| 0:45.0 | might be counterintuitive from what you might have heard here today, but I want to share with you |
| 0:48.5 | exactly why and how this works physiologically in the body. So when you look at apple cider vinegar, |
| 0:55.1 | again, it can have a lot of benefits, as we've spoken about before. It could potentially improve |
| 0:59.5 | digestion, improve blood sugar stability, insulin-based response. It could improve your gastric |
| 1:06.7 | emptying, so not allowing the food to sit for too long in your belly, and maybe even burn more |
| 1:12.3 | body fat. So I'm a proponent of it, but what I want to share with you is what happens when it's |
| 1:17.7 | taken on an empty stomach first thing in the morning before you actually have food. So apple cider |
| 1:23.0 | vinegar contains something called acetic acid. So by its very nature, vinegar is very acidic. So |
| 1:29.7 | acidity is simply the pH of something. It could be alkaline if it's above essentially a 7.14, |
| 1:35.8 | 7 being essentially neutral, and then below that being more acidic. Vinegar, we know, |
| 1:40.3 | is quite acidic. It's able to be used as a cleaner. You can put in your counters. It |
| 1:44.3 | helps kill, disinfect things. That doesn't mean it's bad necessarily to put in the body. However, |
| 1:49.2 | what happens first thing in the morning is that when you put something acidic, now I will |
| 1:53.2 | give you one other caveat, as apple cider vinegar is absorbed through the body, it has a lot of |
| 1:58.3 | minerals. And so yes, at that time, tissue-wise, |
